Basketball team has been sensational this year. They have won all but two of their games. Coach Pendola is surely proud of this team. Some of the guys substitute for varsity players so the varsity can get a rest. But substituting means that the guys get to learn a lot about working together. 73 Wheeler Girls Basketball Row I: Kris West, Sarah Bamford.

The girls varsity basketball team has a very good blend of talent. Their team consists of two Seniors, five Juniors, and four Sophomores. Also, as any team can say, they are pleased with their managers and coach. They keep a winning record ana are headed for the QVC Championships. 74 75 Get the rebound Wheeler! Kelly just got two points for the lions. The girls basketball team may be small in number, but very big in success. It's a young team, but they have practiced and learned to work together. Merry Rubio guards the other player so well, the other girl is running out of the picture. As the whole team knows, defense has a lot to do with winning. The girls basketball team is a very close knit team. They work well together and they are all great players. As Jennifer Dolan :omes down from a shot at the basket, the crowd cheers at two more points. The girls on the team are excited as another win brings them closer to a great season. Each girl plays an important part in making the team a success.
